How to Survive a Zombie Attack in Galway

I know theres already another thread in After Hours about this, but thought it would be interesting to do a Galway based one. Y'know.. just in case.

So, where would you go if there was ever one in Galway?

Myself and a few friends in GMIT were discussing and said that the Gleann na Ri apartments out by Merlin Park would be the perfect place to have a hideout.

Rings a bell

I would head for Tesco's. Everyone always goes to the mall in the films.

Straight for Galway airport i think :eek:

Doodee

Fire Station.


A good wash of the Galway Springs and they would be too busy to eat brains.

That sewage plant island place out in the bay. The only way of getting there would be by boat or by the causeway, I think zombies would be too dumb to take a boat and defending the causeway would actually be kinda fun!

Hijack a full oil tanker and anchor it halfway to nowhere, then use that as a raiding platform to grab supplies, internet, sparkly metals and women from the mainland in patchwork hot air balloons, while keeping the tea warm over a nice oil fire. We can use zombie bits for fishing bait as well.

What could be used as weapons to fend them of though? There's no readily supply of guns around Galway like they seem to find in the films!!

army barracks in renmore but only in case of zombie attack.

Hmm, I was thinking about this one last night. In the case of Night of The Living Dead zombies, I think I'd stay where I am. (Block of 4 appartments, big gate at the front, and 7 foot high walls in the rear compound) We'd just have to block the windows at the front and all's good.
However, In the case of 28 Days Later type creatures things would be a bit more tricky. They are a different bunch alltogether, In that case I'd sit it out for a few days, very quietly and in the dark and wait till the neighbours had been sorted out, at which point I'd steal a car (Should be loads to spare, Im beside the hospital and not everyone going in will be coming out) and hit the hunting shop for a gun, ham radio and fishing rod (during the day, of course!) Then I'd steal a boat and head out to one of the islands for a month (sorting out the locals when I get there) and find a nice house. After the month was up I'd head back to Galway and go shoping, 42" plasma, good HI-FI, Furniture from Habitat, pile of books, stacks of DVD's and CD's etc, and of course a few generators and petrol to go with. I'd then return to my island kingom to live happily ever after!
In the case of a triffid attack....

Yeah, they have a little glass box you can break i nsuch instances.

Destroy the stairs to someplace upstairs. Then laugh at the hapless zombies and pour urine on them while they try to get up.

Did anyone read that book, how to survive a zombie attack by Max Brooks.My brother got it for me as a Christmas present, he read it and was wary, started looking up places to defend. He settled on the Brazilian ambassadors house near his student accommodation. I read it and was wary too, then realized it was a joke and laughed at my gullibility

I'd tell you my plan, but frankly the less mouths I have to feed the better.

One of the big out of town retail centres, a lot of those places are built like forts, glass doors aside.

The one big mistake people make is looking for a large place. one person will find it hard to defend against the mindless zombies that dont know the meaning of surrender.

You want a small place with 2 exits. Easy to defend. example a nice corner shop. plenty of food. all the bits and pieces you would need incase of zombie attack. i think my local shore has a section labeled that. lol.!!

Then the next thing you need to do is find a beautiful woman to clean your new home amongst otherthings. You need to save her life so you can hold that over her for the length of her stay.

also never take anyone from the outside in. As we have all seen this leads to the downfall of the once secure fortress.

That is all! Happy zombie hunting.

Id go to the Guarda station, those doors are designed for people kicking them n the like, also there are guns there. A load of guns is the way to go! Plus when everyone is dead u can go out and steal that ferrari that is going around and just go shooting and looting.

Regarding Guarda guns are Irish police trained in them? I'm no expert on the policeforce but in Belgium all the fat sweaty coppers have despite having no ability to fit their fingers on the trigger.

Irish guards never have them on the beat, but do the stations stock them?

Detectives have .38s, and Uzis on hand for escorts.

Oh, and regarding taking people in, something like a revolving door with a lock, or some kind of airlock type entrance would be handy if you want to take people in, but the zombification takes time to manifest. Let them in there, let them do their quarantine, and then robert's your mother's brother.
